Goodall Design F16 Viper Catamaran

The Goodall Design F16 Viper is one of the most widespread designs in the F16 class. At just 129 kg, the Australian catamaran is very light and correspondingly agile. Its fine bows run smoothly through the water, especially in waves.

Leisure sailors like the Viper too: the relatively compact catamaran is easy to handle ashore and, thanks to its low weight, can be sailed singlehanded without difficulty in the Solo version. For maximum speed there is the Foiling Viper – up on its foils it easily exceeds 20 knots downwind while staying straightforward to sail.
